Thirty Seconds of Sea Spray - a photo on Flickriver

            For a long time, I have wanted to capture the JCB with a long exposure at high tide at sunset. This trip to Elgol with the intrepid members of the STS provided such conditions. But I hadn't anticipated the strong wind that carried sea spray up onto my camera lens! The 30 second exposure may have been too long, but I like the milky effect produced by the 10-stop filter and there was no need to smear Vaseline over the lens for that 'soft-focus' effect. By the time I thought to try something shorter to get some details of wave action, I found myself surrounded by the tripods of several members of the STS, and I was reluctant to get to my camera bag to return the filter, having left it well back from the precarious rocks. Lesson learned - always challenge the STS, and keep your camera bag close...
